Overloaded systems could not handle 911 calls) Have you ever tried to call your mother on Mother’s Day? During the recent hurricanes, cell phone service was out for days, even weeks, in some areas. In some areas, 70% of the cell phone towers were out of service or down. However, there are alternatives. Amateur radio (HAM radio) is the best emergency system available to fill in the void left during an emergency. There is a long history of AMH operators assisting with rescue efforts during these types of disasters. They often form the backbone of emergency communications. In Puerto Rico, during the last hurricane, HAMs were the only source of communications on the island. And HAMs are still active in Puerto Rico.

A few carefully chosen words must carry the weight of many frames of film in a movie. Successful authors suggest the skills needed to draw a reader into a story are developed by reading the works of others, followed by writing and rewriting, to achieve the effect desired. Enthusi- asm for an initial inspiration must be sustained over a period of months or years. Writing skills get a boost in critique sessions, during which, Anthem Authors read aloud and receive criticism from other members.

Extra opportunity for critiquing is provided by splinter groups of around four members who meet twice monthly in sessions lasting up to two hours. This way, each member gets to read and receive advice for half an hour. Authors need positive feedback to keep going as well as criticism to stay on course, and suggestions are best when offered in this spirit. Genre limitations must be kept in mind--a sales brochure is unlikely to provide as much fun as a short story! A wide variety of works are covered in our sessions, so a reviewer may say they’re uncomfortable with a type of writing or simply not comment.

Jackie Meyer’s alcohol ink 34 | Sun City Anthem | May 2018 Tuesday Painters
This month’s Spirit features the Tuesday Painters group. Members enjoy this group because it is unstructured and pleasant; everyone works on individual projects, and when requested, others offer help and encouragement. Instructional workshops are offered once every few months, to share ideas and new techniques. Skill levels in this group range from beginner to artist to professional. Newcomers are welcome throughout the year, and members emphasize that no prior painting experience is necessary. Initially, members will offer supplies, such as various types of paper and canvas, and various mediums, such as water colors, acrylic, alcohol ink, and pastels, which are similar to chalk. Photos are often traced using a light box, although they are frequently reproduced without tracing. Watercolors are easily blended and yield soft, transparent images. In addition, watercolors involve “movement”, which means that the colors flow onto the paper, and the artist manipulates the mixture of colors to obtain the desired result. Acrylic is very forgiving. If the initial results using acrylic are not desired, canvases may be painted over multiple times. Acrylic al- lows the painter to paint over a certain area of the piece and start again, or to paint the entire canvas white and reapply colors as desired. In addition, acrylic paint dries very quickly, such that it can be painted and soon after placed into a bag for transportation. Alcohol ink is a creative, experimental technique, where the ink is applied to glass or to specialty paper, and shapes are formed using an Ultra Duster. This technique is very abstract, and somewhat difficult to control, and for that reason, a photo is not easily replicated. Alcohol ink provides very different effects on various surfaces.

HIKING For more information about hikes, upcoming events and club contacts visit the club’s website: SCAHikingClub.com. The Hiking Club has more than 30 hike leaders who are the “backbone” of the club. The hike leaders schedule and coordinate numerous local and away hikes, of varying degrees of difficulty, for the enjoyment of the club members. Over the years, the club has increased the number of hikes that are being offered. Most of the hikes are offered on Mondays and Fridays, with an increasing number being offered on Wednesdays. Occasionally, there are also hikes scheduled on Tuesdays or Thursdays. This year, the club has added walks to the mix. This has increased the number of hikes we offer from approximately 20 hikes per month to well over 30. The club started a Century Club four years ago, and this has proven to be a very popular program. Any hiker who hikes at least Majestic Canyon 100 miles on club hikes during the year becomes a member of the Century Club and gets a special club t-shirt at the end of the year. Some of our hikers have hiked as many as 1,000 miles during the year, and we have had approximately 80 hikers earn Century Club status each year for the past three years.
St Patrick’s Hike and Lunch A couple of times a year, the hike leaders arrange a picnic and several hikes of varying degrees of difficulty in the same area. This allows strenuous hikers and more moderate hikers to enjoy hiking at their own level and then socializing together. Often the hiking schedules include hikes with different degrees of difficulty that start from the same trail head on the same day. The Hiking and Outing Club is a very active club, and our hike leaders work hard to coordinate hikes for the enjoyment of hikers of all levels. Each year the hiker participation has increased. The following chart shows the levels of hiker participation and difficulty levels for those hikes over the last five years. 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 Easy 90 502 428 312 180 Moderate 150 284 154 663 721 Challenging 313 323 384 703 804 Difficult 326 517 718 1273 1644 Strenuous 475 495 724 797 899 V Strenuous 100 138 244 267 208 X Strenuous 28 Redstone Discovery Total 1454 2259 2652 4015 4484 52 | Sun City Anthem | May 2018 The next club general meeting will be held on Wednesday, HOW TO, CAN DO May 23, at 9 a.m. in the Delaware Room at Anthem Center.

Our guest speakers will be Keith Pickard, candidate for Nevada State Senate; Richard Bunce, candidate for Assembly 22; and Matt McCarthy, candidate for Assembly 23. We hope you can join us to meet the candidates and ask your questions! Keith Pickard, candidate for Nevada State Senate, stated that he is excited to see the efforts of so may conservatives in both the greater RNC (Republican National Committee) and here in SCA. He believes we have many electable candidates, and that we need to get our friends and neighbors to vote. Keith believes we have three primary objectives to protect: public safety, quality education and economic development. He stated we must secure Richard Bunce our borders and make sure criminals are not set free to return to our neighborhoods. He believes our students must be provided with a high quality education and that economic development is needed to provide quality, high paying jobs. Richard Bunce, candidate for Assembly 22, has been an active Republican in Nevada for twelve years, helping conservative candidates statewide. He is running for Assembly to make sure businesses are protected from the burden of government. He believes in fewer obstacles and regulations to run a business are key to attracting new industries and keeping existing ones here. Richard believes parents should have choices in educating their children. Republicans Keith Pickard, Michael Roberson, Danny Tarkanian and Michele Fiore have endorsed Bunce. Matt McCarthy, candidate for Assembly 23, served as a Deputy Chief before he retired after 25 years with Metro. He led an organizational change to ensure public accountability and man- aged million dollar budgets to improve public safety, his first priority.

health crisis and find ways to strengthen the security infrastructure of our schools. His second priority is taxation and accountability.

Many of our members will be traveling the northwest to beat the summer heat and visit family/friends. Like many of the other clubs, there are no meetings June or July. Since the last article, the Daytona rally returned with memories of a great trip. If you are a NASCAR fan, this was the trip to be on. The group started their trip from Casa Grande, Arizona. The first multi-day stop was in San Antonio, Texas. From there, it was overnight stops until they reached Daytona, Florida. They spent ten days at Daytona International Speedway attending most of the events. After the Daytona 500 and in between race weekends, the rally spent a few days in Savannah, Georgia. While in Savannah, they went to Paula Deen’s restaurant for a taste of her specialties. A few days in Charleston, South Carolina were squeezed in before heading to Atlanta. The rally arrived at Atlanta Motor Speedway At the Alamo on Friday for another race weekend. On the return trip, the group visited Red Bay, Alabama for a tour of the Tiffin Motor Coach manufacturing plant. Being able to see up close how the RV’s are assembled was a real education. The last multiday stop was New Orleans. A few days of touring, and a day at The New Orleans School of Cooking rounded out the seven week trip. Everyone got home safe with only a few minor mechanical issues. The March “after meeting pot luck” at Independence Center was again a great success because of our membership participation. Great food and, of course, shared friendship always makes for a good time. April was busy with two very popular rallies. First one went to Nevada Treasure RV Resort in Pahrump. The second went to Zion National Park. Both rallies had over twenty RV’s with several planned group activities. The Branson rally will leave early May for a trip to the famed Missouri entertainment center. The first rally of the fall will be to Rocky Point, Mexico. Again, this is shaping up to be a large group. Things are still in the planning Tiffin RV plant stages, so stay tuned in for the next Rocky Point update. 62 | Sun City Anthem | May 2018 The SCA RV Club meets the last Tuesday of the month at 4 p.m. in the Penn Room of Independence Center. No meetings June, July or December. For more information you can visit our website SCA-RV-Club.com or contact our club President, Roy Prince, at [email protected] or (702) 889-8221. SCRABBLE
Scrabble, one of the most enduring and popular board games, was invented by Alfred Butts, an unemployed architect, during the Great Depression. He studied the front page of the New York Times newspaper to calculate the frequency of vowels and conso- nants to come up with the tile distribution. He crafted the board on blueprints and pasted them to folded checkerboards. The tiles were done the same way and pasted onto pieces of balsa wood that We invite all of Sun City Anthem to join in the fun with were the same size as the squares. The game started as LEXICO, Scrabble words on Fridays, in the Emerson/Franklin Rooms from then changed to CRISS CROSS WORDS, and finally trademarked 1 to 5 p.m. in Anthem Center. No experience required. Drop in as Scrabble in 1948. Happy 70th birthday Scrabble. anytime, we have everything you need to play. Yearly dues are $10. Word of the Month: AALII – a tropical tree SEWING & QUILTING If you have walked past the Sewing Room on any day, you may notice a few ladies, and maybe a few gentlemen, sewing on various projects. Usually they are working on personal proj- ects. Now, if you have walked past on a Thursday afternoon, you would wonder...what’s up in there? The first and second Thursday afternoons from 1 to 4 p.m. is Workshop Day. That’s when members gather under the supervision of Coordinators, Kathy Corless and Carolyn Newman. It is their job to see that projects are started and completed before the items hit the window for sale. The third Thursday of the month is Charity Workshop. In the past we have had charity days with Ryan’s Case for Smiles and steering wheel covers for Veterans with Jerry Peterson. If there is not a charity for that particular Thursday, you may see members taking a quilting class. The fourth Thursday is reserved for UFO’s. That stands for Unfinished Objects, and you can be sure there are plenty of those to work on. Coordinators, Kathy and Carolyn, reserve the first and second Tuesday of each month from 1 to 4 p.m. for Cut-Up Gals. This group consists of several members who meet and prepare the items on which the members will work during Thursday’s workshops. No matter how many items they have prepared on Tuesday, rarely are there items remaining for the following week. Members love to attend the workshops, where they can learn a new skill or just help with sewing, ironing, pinning, and of course, eating cookies at break time. As you can see by the accompanying pictures, we have several items for sale. There are too many to list here. In addition to those listed under the pictures, we have many more items. For the child in your life, we have ragtime quilts, map wall hangings and individual placemats. For adults, we have hanging zipper safes to hide your valuables while traveling or at home, wine carriers, neck coolers, Mah Jongg mats, cell phone holders, zipper pouches and lip moisturizer holders.

These are their words, their stories, their voices,” says Carroll, “and no one can tell their stories better than they can. I also hope this project will encourage service members and veterans to write letters to their loved ones about their experiences, even if they relate to events that happened years or even decades ago.” Original letters are preferred, but photocopies and scans are also gladly appreciated.

Those classes ensure all Woodchips’ members will operate the tools and equipment safely. Anxiously, I went to the shop prepared to help out on a project or start one of my own. I was a total beginner. My woodworking experience to date con- sisted of using a skillsaw or jigsaw. Now, I had the tools to do some truly precision work. Nothing drove that point home more than what I observed my first day in the shop. When I arrived, one member was constructing a beautiful china hutch for his home. He was making a door to go on the cabinet, and the door had six Left To right: SCAWC President, Patricia Lindberg; spindles inserted into the face. Now, I’d just go to Home Depot and Henderson Mayor, Debra March; SCAWC President-Elect, Bella Meese; buy six spindles. But this artful crafter took six pieces of oak and and Henderson Councilman, Dan Shaw put each one, in turn, on a lathe. Then he proceeded to “turn” each spindle and make six identical pieces. That observation caused me to truly appreciate the capabilities of our SCA woodshop, and the skills of the members who are part of the club. Throughout subsequent years, my personal skills and confidence have increased, due in no small part to the help and advice each member offers. I often joke, it takes an hour to cut a piece of wood because everyone offers their advice on how to start! I’ve made many new friends, and I have never before experienced the New members with President Patricia Lindberg and camaraderie that exists between club members. President-Elect Bella Meese.
